Thanks, I always made a point of trying to finish before the first lady, now it's more like the first great gran.

Zouma is an animal, any decent club wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. Just picked up a 10 match suspension for one of the worst tackles you'd not want to see.

Pointless, wouldn't get a game for us any more than he would for Arsenal, we do not play with wingers. Won't be much movement at all for us, better reserve keeper perhaps and a stand-by left back, that'll be it.

So Bardsley scores again, 2nd goal in 2 games, don't think he'd ever scored for them before. Great move by Mauricio, playing our bis XI, boosted their confidence and allowed Bardsley to learn how to score.

Gaston is with the Uruguay side, they play in Turkey and then in Montivideo, both games against Jordan of course. Probably released him early as they play on Wednesday at 6 and not at the end of the week like other sides.

Can't really see Spurs and Citeh not winning so that would put us back to 5th.

He'll need time to be consistent, don't need to be in the SPL. A couple of difficult'ish games a season and the rest are just walkovers where Celtic just need to turn up.

Cups are dead anyway, unless you have a big 4 plethoric squad you'll as likely as not end up struggling for survival or even getting relegatd if you take cups seriously. Of course you might get a pathway like us in 03 and come out of it well but there are far too many cup run casualties to attest to the perils of a long cup campaign in our day and age.

Surely the whole point of the Poppy Appeal is to raise funds for the British Legion, why people buy them is totally irrelevant. I always get one sent from home,pay my 2 quid and then I wear it to work, amuses the French no end, 2 colleagues asked for them this year as well , I told them it was 5 euros minimum, my sister paid 10 £ for the 3, euros will do for her next visit.

Most young men thought it their duty to go whether they were poor or rich. My late old grandad was a Somme survivor, he went with all his cronies from the Gas Works, few came back but he once told me that none of them considered not enlisting even though most of them were far too young but they just lied and the War Office didn't check.

The author of the piece who bangs on about the impoverished having to accept the King's Shilling should take a turn around some Cambridge and Oxford colleges and see the names of the thousands of young men of those colleges fallen between 1914/18.

It's not the clubs per se, it's about equal treatment for the 4 clubs that have 2 away games in 3 days.

Thing with the Europa League is that you can probably go to Krasnodar (wherever that might be) with your bis 11 and actually get a result, can't do that at Sunderland or Hull. Still think if we'd played Gazzaniga we had a better chance of a result.

because they didn't. Sociedad bid somewhere around 16 million euros but he didn't fancy it, neither did Nicola so it was turned down illico. Arsenal did not bid, they just made enquiries as to the asking price but as they were going to blow 50 million on Ozil and still had hopes of Suarez they couldn't muster anywhere near the Swans required, took Flamini on a freebee.

At a guess I'd say it's all about teams with 2 away games not playing away on Thursday and again on Saturday. Saints are away twice as are Arsenal,Liverpool and Stoke and now all are away on the Sunday and not 2 on Sunday and 2 on Saturday. so for the players and supporters there's a 2 full day break between the games to allow for deplacements.

Cork looked pretty ordinary last night, lack of games perhaps but I suspect that playing with a better partner made him look better than he actually is.

They had some pretty iffy results in November January and February though, coped pretty well in December, then again they only had 5 league games. They entered the EL after being eliminated from the CL pretty dismally.

Well yes, we want to finish top 4, everybody knows that, winning the League Cup...not so much, brings too many games in too short a space of time.

Odds were ridiculous given the team that we were going to play. Anyone who got the 27/10 that someone said that they were quoting as late as Monday or Tuesday must be laughing today. We were never ever going to win that game, not with our rentajoke keeper. Anyway we already have 7 games in December, certainly didn't need another one given that most of our players are now internationals and that they have up to 6 fixtures in November as well. Chelsea now have 9 games in 29 days in December,10 in 32 if you count our game with them on New Year's Day, could crack ? that would be really handy.

Did both, don't know about the results though. If I recall correctly the Southampton GSR was very fast, think I ran about 54 minutes myself, Pompey in 91 was windy as per usual, ran about 55'30"

roughly that yes but inverted.

I just cannot seee exactly why we persist with him, surely it would be better to use Gazzaniga as second keeper for want of anything better.

didn't think Fox was too bad, not good but not too bad. The problem is that with a keeper who does not control at least his 6 yard box lumps of crap like Altidore and anyone capable of supplying him suddenly become dangerous players.

Morgan should have been selected instead of Mavuba at least, then again Deschamps just does not know what he's doing, unless of course the "quota" system that was uncovered in the dark basements of the FFF with reference to the U21s is secretly applied to the full national side.

I am particularly pleased for JRod, thought he struggled with us at first (but then again that might have been some sort of Adkins effect) but now I see him as one of our brightest prospects.
